    I was fishing in Missouri one time years ago. We were catching good sized Blue Gill and Crappie, buckets full. I was just screwing around and decided to cast back out a blue gill I had just caught. Next thing I know I had a good sized bass I was reeling in that had tried to eat the blue gill. I looked at my cousin like what in the hell just happened. Wish I had it on video.

    I just rubbed my jerk sauce all over my girls breasts and face.

    Cutthroat are a fun catch. They like to put up a fight. Especially the sea run variety. I used to catch them on the Miami River at the mouth of the Tillamook Bay.

    It's been a few years since I caught cutthroat. Sounds like fun, enjoy!

    Didn't get a chance to stop, went to Firestone in SLO. Damn, that's some good brisket. It was crowded too. Dining in restaurant as well.

    Started the morning in Santa Barbara. State street was blocked off, so pedestrians could have more space. Stores were open, local ones, not the national, I think they need to rehire everyone they laid off lolz.

    Then to SLO. That is a cool little California town. More stuff was open here. It wasn't very crowded except the BBQ spot.

    Don't have to hoist mine. Mine has been sitting on a 20 foot lighted flag pole with a gold eagle on top for several years. Have a U.S. Army flag just below the U.S. flag.
    I've got a Korean flag that I flew, just below the American flag, briefly when I first had the flag pole installed but my wife made me take it down because she was afraid of retribution from people who don't like Asians. Now, how sad is that

    The pink flesh in salmon and steelhead comes from eating a type of shrimp.

    Wow, SO cool, Lanny! And, thanks for sharing those insights. Sad, indeed. BTW, when I sold windows & doors in Portland metro, it occurred to me that there was a disproportionately large population of Asians in the Beaverton/Aloha sectors. Is that true?

    PS: notice how I altered yank's avatar? MUWHAHAHA! ;)

    I've eaten at an all you can eat catfish restaurant in Atlanta. It was all the catfish and all the french fries you wanted for one dollar. Yeah, it was a while ago.
    Every time someone would play Dixie on the juke box we'd all go crazy and sing it in unison. I remember one guy jumping on top of his table to sing along. I felt a kinship to the South but never ever to racial bigotry which I've detested since I was 12.

    This is the de facto standard Southern Anthem. I think they still play it every night during the Stone Mountain laser light show.

    We're having some huge thunderstorms this afternoon. However, I'm still planning on grilling some burgers on the kamado.

    I made some baby backs on the traeger on Saturday. Got them from the local butcher shop. Had some friends over and they were a huge hit. Cooked for 6 hours, mr Stubbs pork rub, mustard, brown sugar, a little honey drizzled on after they had been smoking awhile. Spray with apple juice every hour.

    My buddies wife who’s from Memphis said they are some of the best she’s had. She’s definitely not the type to blow hot air up anyone’s ass.

    Anyways they were so good I decided to go down to Fred’s and get more. Got there and they were buy one get one free. Fuck yeah!
